I am populating a table with custom cells from a file with 4 fields which is working fine. If I click on a row how do I get the contents of the custom cell? ATM I am just using the row number to get it from the original array which is fine but if I add search fields to the table this won’t work
Var cell As MobileTableCellData = Table1.CreateCustomCell(GetTypeInfo(TeamCustomCell2))
Var container As TeamCustomCell2 = TeamCustomCell2(cell.Control)
container.CouncilLabel.Text = tempw(x).NthField(tab, 1)
container.EmailLabel.Text = tempw(x).NthField(tab, 4)
Table1.AddRow(0,cell)
Var myCell As MobileTableCellData = Me.RowCellData(section, row)
Var customCell As TeamCustomCell2 = TeamCustomCell2(myCell.Control)
Var counciltext As String = customCell.CouncilLabel.Text
Var emailabeltext As String = customCell.EmailLabel.Text
I use methods inside custom cells to get and set information so I don’t have to worry about directly accessing a control. I’d use
Var counciltext As String = customCell.GetCouncil()
A better way is always separate representation from data
So fill you custom cell (better use a function like setData with the right data, the string tempw(x) in your case, and pass also a Tag, IE something you can use to retrive your original data)
On search you will create a result subset array use that to retrive the data you need to show
on selection changed you can simple ask for the cell tag
Hi Mark,
I had the get and set methods in place but could get the syntax right. What I put below returned “”
Var cell As MobileTableCellData = Table1.CreateCustomCell(GetTypeInfo(TeamCustomCell2))
Var container As TeamCustomCell2 = TeamCustomCell2(cell.Control)
Var counciltext As String = container.EmailName()
DefaultEmailCouncil = tempwQLD(row).NthField(tab,1)
